I told a version of this story before, but more delicately. This post is entitled "Learning and purging". These are as random as I could make them.Ī no star deleted photo (the focus is all wrong and I have many better versions): Then I go back in and take a look at my pick of the day, sitting there on my computer, all by its lonesome self and I think: Then I tidy everything up, close all my editing and polishing tabs, and delete everything on my camera. I choose the very best four star picture to be what I call "The pick of the day" And then I look at all the four star pictures. I look over the three star pictures one more time just in case something wants to pop out at me. Then I go back and try my hardest to delete all or nearly all of the no star, one star, and two star pictures. Also if there's a group of really similar three star pictures I often choose the best of them and add that fourth star to it. Then I go back through the three star pictures and if among them something really stands out I bump it up to four stars. (If I'm lucky this initial four star rating will happen once or twice a day). Striking, clear, interesting, and well composed pictures are given three stars.Īnd finally something really vivid and arresting, dynamic or unusual, or the complete expression of what I was attempting is given four stars. Pretty but run-of-the-mill pictures with sometimes perhaps better versions, or the likely possibility of better versions, are given two stars. Poor photos of something mildly unique, a strange bug or my first blue jay, are given one star. But so too are lesser versions of similar photos and bland photos of subjects I have heavily photographed like lilies or bees. The superiority of things can also be determined through relativity.īut in the end relativity will wash out everything.Īfter I take my hundreds of daily photos I upload them to my computer and subject them to the star system.īlurry and mistaken photos are given no stars. The greatness of things can be determined through relativity.
